Places to see in ( Birkenhead - UK )
Birkenhead is a town within the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral in Merseyside, England. Historically in Cheshire, Birkenhead is on the Wirral Peninsula, along the west bank of the River Mersey, opposite the city of Liverpool.
The recorded history of Birkenhead began with the establishment of Birkenhead Priory and the Mersey Ferry in the 12th century. During the 19th century Birkenhead expanded greatly, becoming a town as a consequence of the Industrial Revolution, with Birkenhead Park and Hamilton Square being examples of the era. Around the same time, Birkenhead gained the first street tramway in Britain. Later, the Mersey Railway connected Birkenhead and Liverpool, with the world's first tunnel beneath a tidal estuary.
Birkenhead is perhaps best known for the shipbuilding of Cammell Laird, and for the town's seaport. In the second half of the 20th century, the town suffered a significant period of decline, with containerisation causing a reduction in port activity. During the first half of the 21st century, the Wirral Waters development is planned to regenerate much of the dockland.
Birkenhead had the first street tramway in Britain. Opened on 29 August 1860 the first line ran from Woodside (adjoining the terminal of the Mersey Ferry) to Birkenhead Park. The system was later electrified and operated from 1901 as Birkenhead Corporation Tramways. Two replica trams, imported from Hong Kong, have been brought into service as part of a heritage tramway between Woodside and Wirral Transport Museum, and Birkenhead Corporation Tramways Car No.20 is preserved on this line. Present-day services are run by operators including Arriva, Stagecoach and Avon Buses, and coordinated by Merseytravel. Birkenhead bus station opened in 1996. National Express provides long-distance coach services to other UK cities, with direct routes including London, Glasgow, Bangor and Newcastle.
The town has one operational railway depot, Birkenhead North TMD; one disused, Birkenhead Central TMD; and two demolished, Birkenhead Mollington Street TMD and a further depot adjacent to Birkenhead Park station. The remains of the Birkenhead Dock Branch are still extant in a cutting through the centre of the town, which was used primarily for freight services. Much of the peripheral railway infrastructure, around the docks, has been removed since the 1980s. Birkenhead's dock system is part of the Port of Liverpool, operated by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company under the ownership of The Peel Group.

Questions at Council: Communal Bins
Cllr Jason Kitcat (Green) asks Cllr Geoffrey Theobald (Conservative), Cabinet Member for Environment, questions about the recent introduction of communal bins to the city centre. Brighton & Hove City Council Meeting, Hove Town Hall, 29th January 2009.
One of my favourite answers is Cllr Theobald saying the reason the waste strategy is two years late is because he's been very, very busy.
Additional questions feature from Cllr Rachel Fryer (Green) on waste collection in St James Street and from Cllr Warren Morgan (Labour) on the model of bin shown in 'CityNews'.

Caterpillar Ride
Caterpillar Ride at the SW Florida Fair. Fun Kids ride by Reithoffer Shows.
Reithoffer Shows, Inc. is a North American, family-owned and operated traveling midway. They provide carnival and fair rides, games, and food to fairgrounds located mainly along the East Coast of the United States. Events featuring a Reithoffer Shows midway are held from April through November. The company's headquarters are located in Gibsonton, Florida, USA.
A fayre or fair (common British spelling) is a gathering of people to display or trade produce or other goods, to parade or display animals and often to enjoy associated carnival or funfair entertainment. It is normally of the essence of a fair that it is temporary; some last only an afternoon while others may last as long as ten weeks. Activities at fairs vary widely. Some trade fairs are important regular business events where either products are traded between businesspeople, as at the Frankfurt Book Fair, where publishers sell book rights in other markets to other publishers, or where products are showcased to largely consumer attendees, as for example in agricultural districts where they present opportunities to display and demonstrate the latest machinery on the market to farmers.
Fairs are also known by many different names around the world, such as agricultural show, fête, county fair, exhibition or state fair, [[festival], market and show. Flea markets and auto shows are sometimes incorporated into a fair.
The site of the old New Brighton Bathing Pool - Now a cinema
The old New Brighton bathing pool was demolished in 1990 following damage after a storm. The council claimed that it could not be repaired. Yeah, right! Now on the site is a cinema, supermarket, coffee shops, restaurants and other shops. I wonder if the new site brings in more revenue for the council than the swimming pool would have done - I bet it does!
